While Dell’s consumer division has only released two Haswell-powered models, the Alienware group delivered from the get-go. These fully up-to-date 2013 models are available we’ve got a coupon for the flagship model.

As the name implies, this is the 18.4-inch gaming laptop. Like the other Alienware laptops, the 18 sports a refreshed chassis that shares the same new “stealth bomber” motif, which it wears quite well. The 4th gen Core i7-4700MQ is the minimum processor you get with the Alienware 18, sporting four cores that clock between 2.4GHz and 3.4GHz. You can get up to a Core i7-4930MX, which is an overclockable chip that Alienware gets up to 4.3GHz (it’s 3.9GHz at stock).

While the last gen models only came with a single GPU setup, now you get dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M 2GB GPUs on even the cheapest configuration. A 1080p screen, 8GB RAM, and 750GB hard drive are also standard. Match these up with the new Core i7 and this configuration is blazing fast, to say the least.

If you want the best of the best model, they even separate that configuration out with the only options available being warranties and accessories. It has the Core i7-4930MX, 32GB of RAM, dual GTX 780M GPU’s, and ditches the optical drive to make room for quad 256GB SSDs in RAID 0 configuration for a total of 1TB of SSD storage. All of this can be yours for the better-get-a-car-loan sum of $5,199.

But fear not, the much more reasonable configuration with dual GTX 765M’s, 750GB hard drive, and 8GB RAM starts at $2,049, after coupon. While this is still a kingly sum for a laptop, when you consider the wealth of technology built into the Aliewnare 18 and the impressive standard load-out, the price tag seems much more reasonable.Check out the latest Alienware 18 deals & coupons from our friends at LogicBuy.
